The best gum treatment depends on the severity of the gum disease and can range from non-surgical deep cleaning to surgical procedures for advanced cases. Non-surgical treatments include scaling and root planing (a deep cleaning) and the use of antibiotics to manage infection. Surgical options for advanced cases involve flap surgery to clean deep pockets, gum grafts to restore gum tissue, and bone grafts to repair lost bone.
Non-surgical treatments (for early to moderate gum disease)
- Scaling and root planing: A deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line (scaling) and then smooths the tooth's root surfaces (root planing) to help gums reattach. This is often performed under local anesthesia.
- Antibiotics: Prescription mouth rinses, gels, or oral antibiotics can be used to control the bacterial infection.
- Improved oral hygiene: Daily brushing and flossing, along with using an antibacterial mouthwash, is crucial for managing the condition and preventing its return.
Surgical treatments (for advanced gum disease)
- Flap surgery: The gum tissue is lifted to expose the roots, allowing the dentist to remove bacteria and tartar from deep pockets and then reposition the gums.
- Laser-assisted new attachment procedure (LANAP): A less-invasive alternative that uses a laser to target diseased gum tissue.
- Gum grafting: A piece of tissue is taken from another part of the mouth to cover exposed tooth roots where gum tissue has receded.
- Bone grafting: After cleaning the area, a bone-grafting material is placed where bone has been lost to help the body regenerate its own bone.
- Guided tissue regeneration: A membrane is placed between the jawbone and the gum to prevent other tissue from growing in, allowing bone to grow instead.
Important considerations
- Your dentist will determine the best treatment based on the severity of your gum disease.
- Regular professional cleanings and consistent at-home oral hygiene are essential for maintaining gum health after any treatment.
- A healthy diet can also contribute to overall oral health and help with inflammation.
